I saw Cats yesterday and I’m a changed person now. Which is to say oh god get the songs out of my head help

how was the cgi

lord

honestly most of the performances weren’t bad? But LORD IT JUST LOOKS SO BAD AND SO WEIRD

although rebel wilson’s everything was Cringe and a lot of the stuff, especially near the end, just takes itself way too seriously and it’s like they forgot they’re making a ridiculous musical about singing dancing cats

but I just. The cats themselves were unnerving and the mice/roaches were outright Bad in a way I haven’t seen in like a decade

My favorite part is they clearly have NO IDEA how big a cat is

Ooh well, never was there eeever a cat as clever as magical Mr. Mistoooffeleeees!~

OK BUT

REAL FUCKING TALK

THE MOVIE RUINED THAT SONG

like I have only seen the home video version of cats and it was many moons ago but YouTube just confirmed it for me: it’s supposed to be this joyous affair sung by Rum Tum Tugger, not... trying to cheer up the sad pathetic woobie as he continues to fail and fuck up

Most songs were weird and out of place in the movie, but yeahhh... Yeahhhh

where’s my man coming down, depositing rainbows, and then blowing shit up hollywood

props to t swift for fucking OWNING macavity though?

Macavity was crazy overpowered though. Compared to what he could do, end-game Mr. Mistoffelees was still nothing.

Oh, definitely agreed.

I still feel like they should've let TSwift go full Nashville, the director's apparent fondness for breathy restrained performances from female actors aside

YEAH...

haven't seen the film yet but a friend dissected what bothered him about the soundtrack snd i was happy to listen
